Tesla to launch Model 3 in the UK within a week
Tesla’s Model 3 will launch in the UK on May 1 or 2, CEO Elon Musk tweeted on Thursday.
Launches in Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and Hong Kong will follow “shortly thereafter,” Musk said.

Musk later clarified that the UK order page will go live either on May 1 or May 2. The company will delay the $1,000 Full Self-Driving (FSD) price hike until May 10 to accommodate those who were unable to order in time (previously, the price increase was scheduled for May 1).
We will delay $1k full self-driving option price increase until May 10 for those unable to order by May 1

On Friday, Musk also added that he’s hoping to cover “all of Eastern Europe” in 2019.

Tesla Model 3 was officially unveiled in 2016, but first units were delivered in the U.S. in the second half of 2017.
As the company slowly ramped up production to 5,000 units per week in mid-2018, it began to offer the car in other markets, but Europeans had to wait until January 2019 to be able to buy it. And even then the launch was only limited to a handful of left-hand drive countries.
